Teaching mathematics through problem solving
The purpose and contribution of this paper is to explore and discuss how project-based learning (PBL), a general instructional strategy that can be used in numerous core content areas, can be integrated with teaching mathematics through problem solving (TMPS), a mathematics specific classroom approach. This instructional approach, TMPS, discusses two elements of a teacher’s facilitation role, including the planning of valuable tasks and the classroom facilitation of this task. We describe and explore a case of a sixth (6th) grade mathematics teacher named Mrs. Miller who incorporated PBL in her teaching. We then address Mrs. Miller’s concerns and perspectives through related observations and connections made by the authors, organized using the essential elements of a teacher’s role in TMPS. We believe these essential elements of a teacher’s role in TMPS should be maintained when a teacher integrates PBL in his/her practices in order to ensure a project effectively teaches students significant mathematical content
Fundamental Elements of Drone Management Systems in Air Traffic Planning
Drones or Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAV – Unmanned Aerial Vehicles or UAS – UnmannedAerial Systems) are vehicles that can fly without the need for a pilot or passengers. Drones can be controlled remotely through radio waves or independently (with a previously determined route). The amount of documented accidents involving the hazardous use of drones has risensignificantly due to the increased usage of drones. To perform and increase the use of drones in air traffic management (ATM), especially in smart city planning, a variety of regulations andmanagement procedures will be implemented. This paper aims to propose management rules or regulations for drones in smart city transportation management and some approaches related to drone management and drone control. To present controlling approaches through the parameters in mathematical modelling for drones, we need a control rule, data gathering from the surroundings (usage of GIS), and a dynamic model of drones, and to present controlling and managing it with the help of a drone-following model based on a dynamic model of drones
